In some cases 100 per cent home loans (or close to it) may be possible. Generally though, most lenders will require that you have about 5% of the proposed purchase price in cash, however some require less. Although they like to see that you have a good saving history over 6 months, the actual deposit can be a cash often be a gift from family and friends.
Don’t forget: you’ll also need to allow for legal costs, stamp duty and possibly Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) if you are borrowing more than 80% (this cost can often be funded from the loan as well).
An Express Mortgage Market Adviser can help you structure a savings plan, and we can also help you access financial assistance provided by Australian governments.
How much you can borrow for your first home will be determined by a range of factors: monthly income, regular expenses, and the amount of money you intend to contribute towards the purchase. It’s smart to consult with a mortgage broker Sydney for an assessment of how much you can borrow for your first home purchase.
